Title:
On the final exponentiation for calculating pairings on ordinary elliptic curves

Authors: Michael Scott, Naomi Benger, Manuel Charlemagne, Luis J. Dominguez Perez, Ezekiel J. Kachisa

Abstract:

When using pairing-friendly ordinary elliptic curves to compute the Tate and related pairings, the computation consists of two main components, the Miller loop and the so-called final exponentiation. As a result of good progress being made to reduce the Miller loop component of the algorithm (particularly with the discovery of ``truncated loop’’ pairings like the R-ate pairing), the final exponentiation has become a more significant component of the overall calculation. Here we exploit the structure of pairing friendly elliptic curves to reduce the computation required for the final exponentiation to a minimum.
